Was the Bonts game tonight the best game by a Bulldogs player in modern times?

[whythelongface]

The kid was sensational. On the big stage against the best team in recent history. He took the game by the scruff of the neck and turned it our way.

He just took his game to another level. Lead from the front and our whole team followed.

It is hard to believe he is only 20.

To do what he did against the reigning premier. Wow

The block of Hodge's handball and pinpoint pass to Dickson was like a passing of the baton.

Chris Grant 2000 against EFC stands out.

But the Bont is so Bont it's unbelievable. He's so bloody big compared to other midfielders, and his hands, stopping, moving, kicking and thinking are elite already.

I look forward to watching the Bont smash a shiteload of injunction, belt a heap of blokes, get caught drink driving and win four premierships in the near future.

A Lite 'n' Easy advertisement will be the cherry.....

I had Picken BOG, but it was great to watch Bonts sit Hodge on his arse then later pickpocket the ball from him and setup a goal

I had Jack with Bont second and Picken third. Picken is force feeding me roast words on a weekly basis these days.

I thought he was really good. Then I got home and am watching the replay. He's a dead set superstar.

Jack went for four quarters. Gather, handball, run to make an option.

Could be. A cut throat semi final, killed them in clearances and contested possession, a couple of crucial goals and score assists and general class and physicality. He's something to behold at 20yo. I still have him finishing highly in the Brownlow fwiw.

Tonight we went from an ambitious Walter White into a full on manic Heisenberg. Now Peter Gordon use the line again....

Probably the best finals game since Dougie in 85 .
He put the side on his shoulders, and that steal off top bloke drink driver gut puncher Hodgey was pure beauty .
Such a level headed intelligent young bloke as well

Yes hard to go past Grant in 2000.

Last night was a huge game; semi-final; packed crowd; standing up when it mattered; being the player to spark us and take control of the game - it was a team effort, no doubt, but one player stood out with some key plays - haven't see such big plays by a player wearing our colours in such a big big game.
